tryptophan synthetic pathway and its regulation in chromobacterium violaceum.extracts of chromobacterium violaceum catalyzed all of the reactions involved in synthesizing tryptophan from chorismic acid. tryptophan auxotrophs which had lost any of these activities did not produce the characteristic purple pigment, violacein, when grown on a medium in which tryptophan was limiting. gel filtration of extracts allowed us to estimate molecular weights for the tryptophan enzymes. all of the enzymes appeared to have molecular weights below 100,000. no enzymes were observed to o ...19685669904
proteus and coliform meningoencephalitis in neonates.the characteristic necropsy and histological appearances are described of nine cases of proteus meningoencephalitis in neonates. one case which was not due to proteus has been included because of the close similarity of the gross appearances of the brain. umbilical sepsis in half the cases indicated that this is a common portal of entry of these organisms. that epidemiological factors may be of importance in the aetiology was suggested by the distribution of cases.19685697343

the respiratory system of chromobacterium violaceum grown under conditions of high and low cyanide evolution.the particulate fraction of disrupted chromobacterium violaceum grown under cyanide-evolving conditions was unable to oxidize ascorbate plus n,n,n',n'-tetra-methyl-p-phenylenediamine (tmpd), but oxidized nadh and succinate by a linear respiratory pathway which was very resistant to inhibition by cyanide. when the bacteria were grown under conditions where little cyanide evolution occurred, particulate fractions developed the ability to oxidize ascorbate-tmpd by a pathway highly sensitive to cyan ...1975172598
improvements of the membrane filter method for dna:rrna hybridization.we describe and recommend the following improvements of dna:rrna membrane filter hybridization methods. one of our aims was to avoid dna release from filter discs during hybridization. 1. our hybridization conditions are 2 ssc in aq. dest., with 20% formamide, 50 c, overnight for 16 hr. 2. duplexing is over in 8-10 hr. 3. formamide has to be very pure (o.d. less than or equal to 0.2/cm light path at 270 nm). 4. rnaase treatment: 250 mug/5 ml 2 ssc/filter at 37 c for 1 hr. 5. our conditions for s ...19751082296
a mixed bacterial population in a continuous culture with and without kaolinite.chromobacterium lividum and a pseudomonas sp. were grown in pure and mixed continuous culture with and without the clay-mineral, kaolinite. irrespective of the growth conditions, c. lividum adhered to the wall of the culture vessel whereas the pseudomonas sp. showed no such tendency, at least visually. during mixed culture studies, the organism which was initially established in the culture dominated. the ratio between c. lividum and the pseudomonas sp. was about 20:1 when c. lividum was first e ...19751089463
effect of chlorpromazine on the respiration and hexose monophosphate dehydrogenases of gram-negative bacteria.the drug chlorpromazine inhibits respiration in several gram-negative bacteria. the enzymes glucose-6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase and 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase from these microorganisms are not affected by the drug.19751090352
a maximal predictive classification of klebsielleae and of the yeasts.the concepts of the numerical method of maximal predictive classification are illustrated with classifications of 13 species of enterobacteria and of 434 species of yeast. the method seeks to classify into a specified number of classes (k) such that more correct statements can be made about the constituent members than with any other classification. the best choice of k relates to the separation of the classes as measured by the average number of correct statements made for an individual assigne ...19751113078

identification of chromobacterium violaceum: pigmented and non-pigmented strains.the classification and, therefore, identification of chromobacterium violaceum has been based upon its ability to produce a violet pigment. although the organism may yield non-pigmented variants when subcultured on artificial media, the isolation of non-pigmented strains from pathological tissues or from nature had not been reported. with a method established for the identification of c. violaceum regardless of violet pigmentation, non-pigmented strains were isolated from nature. the presence of ...19751236933
unusual chromobacterium violaceum: aerogenic strains.this is the first report of chromobacterium violaceum strains that are aerogenic. two pigmented strains of c. violaceum and their nonpigmented variants produced gas in glucose broth. kliger iron agar, and triple sugar iron agar. they were similar morphologically and biochemically to other anaerogenic strains studied previously.19761254704
beta-lactamase activity in chromobacterium violaceum.a strain of chromobacterium violaceum isolated from a fatally infected patient was found to produce a beta-lactamase. when the organism was grown in drug-free medium, beta-lactamase activity was barely detectable, but when it was grown in the presence of penicillin g, a much larger amount of activity was produced. the beta lactamase was active primarily against cephalosporins; it was sensitive to inhibition by cloxacillin but resistant to p-chloromercuribenzoate. thus this enzyme closely resembl ...1976977998
[microbiological studies of the wanda lake (antarctica)].the deep-water (68 m) wanda lake in the antarctica is noticeable by three characteristics: a relatively high temperature in the bottom layer, elevated salinity, and the presence of h2s. only several (less often, dozens) saprophytic microorganisms per 40 ml of water are encountered in the lake. the total number of bacteria varies from 6-10(3) to 172-10(3) cells/ml. the highest content of the total bacterial population, and saprophytes, is found in intermediate layers, 30 and 40-50 m deep, respect ...19761012048
morphological, physiological, and biochemical characteristics of some violet-pigmented bacteria isolated from seawater.sixteen violet-pigmented heterotrophic bacilli were isolated from mediterranean coastal waters. morphological and physiological studies showed that they have a number of characteristics specific to the genus chromobacterium. however, the absence of catalase, the presence of oxidase, and, more especially, the low percentage of bases guanine and cytosine in their dna exclude them from the genus. the specificity of some characters assigned to chromobacterium can thus be discussed. several features ...19761260521
